Yeah, I don't know what to call them... different versions? But that isn't really germane to my point that "GA102-250" makes zero sense in a product stack where higher-number versions indicate GPUs with higher capabilities. Going by the known GA102 versions, that would put it between a 3080 Ti (-225) but below 3090 (-300), which makes zero sense.


Welcome to PRC, where anything that can be faked - including for clicks - will be.


That would make "GA102-250" believable, but then why market it as a 3080?
Since this has a 320 bit memory bus and is pre-LHR, my guess would be either it's a 3080 using a 3090's PCB (with empty memory spaces), or its a 3080 with the double density ram the 3090Ti eventually had
